      You'd think they'd at least be able to track stolen cars.
      I just saw a youtube video a few days ago about a fellow in Toronto who had a high-end SUV stolen. He'd attached his own tracking device to his vehicle.
      The SUV was apparently in tracking-proof containers much of the time, but it was out of containers long enough at various stops that he could track it first to eastern Ontario, then to Montreal, then to Antwerp, finally its apparent final destination in Dubai.
      No help from police who mumbled something about jurisdictional issues blah blah etc.
      But God forbid he brake just because some kid runs into the street chasing a hockey puck or whatever.

    A "hard brake event" does not mean someone is an unsafe driver. It means they successfully avoided a collision. Using this as a metric to say someone is a bad driver without the context of WHY they had to brake hard is insane. This would basically punish people based on population density because some places just have so many people that everyone has to drive bumper to bumper at high speed and then slam on the brakes if there are any unexpected slowdowns.

      Tesla is far worse, and still plans to do more. Although they already lost me when they wouldn't support *Right to Repair.* Meaning you never actually own it, you rent it; and you can only drive/recharge it at the company's pleasure. The fact that they "supposedly" want EVs to be the future, but won't allow any other EVs to charge on on Tesla chargers is a big "tell." They're exploiting rich people who want to feel like spending money is morally just. They're just farming coastal elites (and pretenders) who want to virtue signal about "caring about the environment." Which is literally the *_E_* in ESG.

      I have been a targeted individual the last 30 years, and every American needs to HEAR MY STORY, because what the monsters did to ME, they are now doing to YOU ALL.
      When the criminal harassment by agents started in 87-88, they had a legit right to watch me. At the time, I was young and wild and dating a drug dealer. I stopped dating him and stopped all drug use in 88, but the harassment never stopped. They have tapped every phone, hacked every computer and criminally and repeatedly entered every home i have lived in during these years since. I now don't leave my home unless I hire a house sitter because the filthy agents refuse to STAY OUT OF MY HOME. I couldn't understand for years, WHY they were targeting me. I'm married, don't do anything illegal and am a Christian since 94. It wasn't until 2018 that I knew WHY. I was sick with a skin disorder that I am now convinced was another bioweapon being tested on us. I was examining my skin with a magnifier when i found strange, matching sets of holes in my inner wrists and knees. They looked like tiny tunnels, but couldn't be seen with the naked eye. I had no idea how they got in my skin, and I hadn't seen any doctors or taken any shots in years. So I got out a sterile needle and opened up those holes and took samples from them and viewed it under my microscope. (A hobby I have had many years.) I was speechless at what I found. I t was a clear, COMPUTERIZED GEL, and it was laid out in a ladder shaped grid system, that had tiny rice shaped batteries around it's outer perimeter. It had pine tree shaped antennas that had perfectly symmetrical branches with metallic looking little balls on the tip of every branch. It was slowly collapsing it's structure as it cooled to room temperature. I had never seen anything like it in my life. Finding this tech in my body explained many things I had wondered about the last twenty years. It explained why I heard a man's voice in my head sometimes. It explained why he pretended to be GOD that the things he said weren't always Godly. It explained why things got moved or hidden from me during my sleep, and why I was WATCHED CONSTANTLY through my OWN EYES. The FILTHY, DISGUSTING, LOWLIFE MONSTERS HAD HACKED MY BRAIN, and it was WORSE THAN RAPE! I told my local chief of police, when I reported finding it, that at least a woman can HEAL after being raped. There is no 'healing' from this, according to what Elon Musk says in his videos. He sells this stuff, though I cannot imagine why ANYONE in their right mind would EVER want it!! I found a picture of it right on DARPA'S website, under Obama Brain Initiative. I KNEW what would be in the vax when they said one was coming, and unfortunately, I was right. Dr Carrie Madej, and Dr Ricardo Delgado were some of the first to identify it in the shots. It's also in the masks/tests, and swabs, and NOW they are putting it in our FOOD/BEV AND MILK!!! I am here to tell you that this absolutely EVIL tech from HELL is FAR MORE than 'gene therapy'!!! It lets the filthy monsters see and hear every thought we have! It lets them talk to us mentally. It lets them even TAKE OVER OUR BODY during certain stages of sleep, and use OUR BODY to do whatever they WANT TO, and we have little or no memory of it, much less any CONTROL OVER IT! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE SICK FREAKS ARE DOING TO US, and they MUST be stopped! I wouldn't do this to an ANIMAL, because even animals have a RIGHT to have PRIVATE THOUGHTS between them and GOD. They are also now putting this tech in all animal shots as well, HACKING ALL LIVING THINGS, so they can be REMOTE CONTROLLED by the sick freaks WHO THINK THEY ARE GOD! THIS TECHNOLOGY IS STRAIGHT OUT OF HELL ITSELF and the monsters MUST be held accountable for what they have done and are continuing to do! NOBODY HAD A RIGHT TO DO THIS TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE! NOBODY! EVER! The filthy monsters have been in MY BED, MY BATH, and MY BRAIN, the last TWENTY YEARS! Watching me through MY OWN EYES, while I bathed, changed clothes, any and everything, they SAW IT. HOW WOULD YOUI FEEL ABOUT BEING RAPED THIS WAY? I sure hope you didn't take the shots, use the other things, and God forbid you been drinking any MILK!! This stuff is called NEURAL LACE/HYDROGEL. Graphene oxide and polymer based tech that is straight out of Hell itself. Musk says it attaches to nerves and grows INTO the brain, and that it is PERMANENT. I pray to God he is wrong because I truly want my HUMANITY BACK! And he is LYING when he says that it cannot be injected through a normal needle, because it CAN if it is cold enough. It SHRINKS when it gets cold. It also doesn't need a CHIP, either, because it could easily make it's OWN! The stuff acts ALIVE in the body. Absolutely fascinating to watch. They are now putting this horror in animal shots, and other shots as well. NO MORE SHOTS, PPL, FOR ANY LIVING THING! DO NOT ALLOW THEM! They are also putting this stuff in our foods/bev and milk. Boiling or baking seems to disable it, but this needs done in professional labs to be verified.
      I will gladly answer any questions you may have. These monsters love to torture and kill helpless, innocent little animals and the freaks tortured and killed FOUR of my greatly loved little dogs. The last one, my favorite, was tortured EVERY MONTH for over NINE YEARS, before we busted the agents using our CELL PHONE to put out the frequencies that were CAUSING those seizures. We busted them RED HANDED, and there is no denying what they are doing. They were using FREQUENCIES to tweak the brain, CAUSING the seizures, and other death causing things. I call it RIFE IN REVERSE, because it is. I also call it the UNHOLY GHOST, because Satan mimics everything God does, in reverse. They finally killed him Thanksgiving Day of 22, after making him go BLIND, causing organ failure, and shocking him every couple hours the last two days, till he couldn't hold out any more, and died in my arms. People, please don't sleep by anything digital, and keep your animals away from them as well! We also busted them hacking our washer/dryer outlet, and gas stove, so keep your appliances UNPLUGGED when not using them! If you hear any device making a strange or unusual sound, BLOCK IT by coughing, whistling, clapping, etc. and shut the device off FAST AS POSSIBLE. You should also keep a hammer or glass breaker in your front seat while driving, as some have reported their loved ones were locked in their vehicles before being incinerated, as in Lahaina attacks. Also keep your kids CLOSE at all times, and do NOT trust ANY govt agents as they cannot be trusted now.

      I drove a delivery van for a firm that supplies auto repair shops with car parts for ten years up to 2015. They introduced a chain wide scheme to reduce the corporate vehicle insurance by having a spy box monitor employees driving. It was so laughably over sensitive even the branch management realised it was impractical. Just driving along with other town traffic had the monitor flashing red lights in the van and reporting back to the depot. To keep the display green you had to drive like a horse and cart, cornering very gently and hardly braking at all. Town traffic did not appreciate the granny driving we had to do. Best of all it sometimes it misread its GPS, and once pinpointed me as driving across a golf course😂. What a total waste of time…but worse, until local management realised how inaccurate and crappy this system was, several drivers had embarrassing reprimands for “unsafe driving” putting their employment at risk.
